Passwords not autofilling on ipad with ios 14

I have Firefox (updated automatically) for PC with autofill working fine to fill in my username and password on websites. I have installed Firefox latest version on my iPad with iOS and installed Lockwise. All of my logins and passwords are synced to Lockwise. I have autofill logins and passwords enabled for Lockwise in my iPad settings exactly as instructed by the information on the Lockwise app.

When I open a website in Firefox iOS however Lockwise opens and presents me with the list of all websites and Logins and I have to manually search for the website, select it and then it will autofill the website to login. This is a hassle of course. This is the case whether I have Firefox or Safari as the default browser.

Oddly enough if I try to log into the same website with Safari, Lockwise opens and autofills the Safari website with no problem or further input from me as I would expect it to.

What can I do to make Firefox autofill automatically in iOS like it does for my PC?

Thanks

Greg

This may be a matter of your device, not firefox

Hi, I did not find this reply helpful. Why would this not be a bug. According to Mozilla instructions, autofill should work on iOS devices. Is there a way to feed back to the developer on this issue, or is anyone else having this problem?
